Behind the Kitchen Stove My favorite spot, out on the farm, Behind the stove, where it was warm And I could watch the great ado Of making meals and baking too. There was a crock where I could sit And space enough for me to fit. I learned a lot and it was fun To snitch a cookie or a bun. The stove was huge and burned all day. As the evening wore away, It would be stoked to hold all night And stoked again at first daylight. There always seemed to be a treat Being processed by it's heat. I loved to hear the ebb and flow Of conversation and I know So many times it slipped their mind That I was there and I would find The world of adults open wide Till I could see a ways inside. An unexpected treasure trove, I found behind the kitchen stove!

Oh my. I used to get under the kitchen stove when I was a child in winter to get warm. This really brings back memories.nicely done dear.....  the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

This does bring back good memories. I couldn't fit behind the kitchen stove but we used to stand by the parlor stove to keep warm while we were dressing. Many the times I got too close. Joyce |

This does bring back warm memories for me too. I rememberwhen I was a little girl visiting my grandmas brother on a farm. There was an old stove in the middle of the kitchen. A place to snuggle and warm our cold hands. What fun I had on the farm! Thanks for sharing your memories. Deb |
